Abstract

Future applications of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) especially in military missions require the operation of UAVs with a high level of autonomy. Autonomous UAVs could be developed using agent technologies and therefore this paper investigates such an approach from an industrial perspective. Taking into account time, budget and available knowledge on the industrial side and need for UAV operators to understand the behavior of the autonomous system this paper proposes the application of cognitive agents and a design procedure that supports the transition of the pure operational requirements and functional specification into a cognitive agent system, called Operational driven development approach for Cognitive Systems (Op Cog).

WI-IAT '08: Proceedings of the 2008 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology - Volume 02

In the context of cognitive agent programming frameworks, a main research effort accounts for exploiting goal-orientation for specifying and enacting agent interaction. Existing research work focuses almost totally on direct communication models, ...
A cognitive social agent architecture for cooperation in social simulations
IVA'12: Proceedings of the 12th international conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents

We present a cognitive agent architecture to allow its agents to exhibit social behaviors influenced both by rational and cognitive motivators. Currently, our focus is on cooperation and our objective is the observation or emergence of non-scripted ...
